Open brake fluid

[L14MNP]

Bought 5 litres the other week, have refilled the car, and now have maybe 2 litres spare after my brakes were leaking, and I have refilled and rebled etc.

The fluid I have caught is clean, but it seems a.shame to throw it away as it has air in it.
I have ran it through a seive, but I can't see that doing anything.

Any suggestions?

What about a coffee filter?

What about a coffee filter?

Sounds a bit strong, potentially. Will have a go though mate.

Was gonna try blowing into it with a straw, and catching the bubbles?

[brainsnova]

Must of been some leak lol

[conad]

When I bleed my bike brakes I apply negative pressure to the syringe which makes all the air rise (bubbles appear from nowhere)... Just another idea

Must of been some leak lol

In all seriousness, it was lol. Rebuilt calipers, all new drums, shoes, cylinders etc. Everything but the long, hard pipes.

Two sets of short hard pjpes and two sets of cylinders later, it's sorted.

Cheapo crap cylinders were both leaking from pipe fitting and bleed nipple. No obvious thread damage or cracks. Dry inside.of.drum etc.

It's had a good purge anyway. lol

enemies cars?
(Batt died mate)

Buy cheap buy twice lol. I cant think of any way of putting the fluid into a big enough vacuum, when doing the bike its only 50ml at a time.

Bikes are **** where brake fluid is concerned. I bet you have all the fancy bleeding gear too?
They don't make.it easy!

Andy, used fluid works best for that, doesn't it?

I prefer road paint. :d

Too much hassle. lol

Just take your brakes off and jam a good trainer in the back tyre.

I had those, the poppers went all the way up on them.... I was left in my pants on numerous occasions lol

[Andy]

I had adidas as hull was,and still is a deprived area.

[brainsnova]

You can't be those school out days when you would go to car mechanics at a college for the day and be pushing the cars into each other, kappa trackies kids started it lol

[wwmnw]

Kappa ****ing hell that brings back some memories, all the scruffy charvas treating kappa like it was the new Armani clobber. Absolutely horrible looking stuff Krappa was, looked like it belonged in the early days of track suit development and never left.

I had some Adidas popper trousers (upper class and all that) thankfully they didn't go all the way up (that I can remember) but like Conad I also was left with me under crackers on show many times.

[brainsnova]

**** knows what they were thinking with the buttons unless they saw the way they would get ripped off lol

[mowgli]

meanwhile, back at the thread, i can't imagine any 100% safe method of home filtering brake fluid. its usually a 1 time only deal...you could try selling it on ebay as from a racecar/drift championship winning motor etc.... some tit will buy it.

[brainsnova]

I would just take it to my local waste disposal site and pour it away. I just buy the small bottles

[Southie]

What's the point in keeping it? How much £ is it worth anyway, you'll just buy some more when the times ready lol
